on a xtreme is there a one inch drop coil? or is it something else and is it true that if you use a 3 inch drop coil you only get 2 inches out of it?

I believe you have whats called a Z87 suspension, Not sure if its a revised ZQ8.

I think GM uses softer springs on it. Cheaper than lowered spindles.

Xtremes have the ZQ8 suspension. Front springs are like an 1 1/2 shorter. I have not seen a 1-inch drop coil. Try Belltech.

Depends on how much of a drop you want.

Here are some pictures of mine when I had a static drop

It has 2-inch drop spindles, 3-inch shorter coils and shorter shocks up front, and 3-inch drop blocks in back with shorter shocks.

Nice looking Blazer. You should enter the ride of the month.

Thanks. I thought you had to be nominated for that? Can you nominate yourself? Not that I would, just asking.

I'll probably wait until Spring anyway. Have my Trailblazer font end by then. I hope.:D
